Why people argue about this
People often assume that in Para Armwrestling's best of 3 rounds format, each round lasts exactly 90 seconds regardless of who wins or loses, which can lead to misunderstandings about when a match might end early if one competitor is decisively outmatched. However, the actual rule states that time limits apply only during each individual round, not throughout the entire match duration.
